“...and all the world is football-shaped”

What’s funny is the first time I heard it, I thought “How Weird”, then realized the band is English, and was referring to a soccer ball....but over the years they became my favorite band.

Or is it that these younger women came of age in the seventies, but grew up in the sixties, molded by the anything goes mindset?

I'm guessing the sixties had a lot to do with it.

I do prefer the 60s over all other eras, but I will not call the 70s a complete wasteland, just a general one.

“I believe that the 70s were a complete wasteland of good music..”

You must not have listened much in those years.

Hey now.
I only wear a man bun when I’m relaxing at home. Never in public.

I have cats.

Two other good ones by T. Dolby were “Hyperactive” and “Airhead.”

I remember listening to “Flying North” when I flew back from college in CA to home in PA. Good times.

Bell bottom jeans and pants. Platform shoes for guys. French cuff shirts.

I’m guilty too.

Anything English was cool until proven otherwise. I lived in a small town, and before the internet it sometimes took a couple of years for the big trends to show up. I remember going to Europe in ‘81 and bringing back a rubiks cube before it was really a thing here.

I loved the 80s. Graduated HS in 1980, went to college, saw great concerts for very little money....had tons of fun. I prefer 60s-70s music. Some great 80s tunes though.

The 1970s

The mighty mighty Led Zeppelin

They totally trippy Grateful Dead

This super Duper trippy Pink Floyd

The great southern band Lynyrd Skynyrd

Pick up at the 1970s was the great a decade for hard rock and roll

the 60s was milquetoast in the 80s was a bunch of synthesizers
